Are you going to be at the ANA show in August?
The mint is fully capable of making these as they were over 100 years ago, when they looked better. Instead of a proper reducing machine giving...
This is a coin that should be seen in person by someone who knows the series before submitting to a TPG. It could save you a ton of money and time.
I didn't see this thread the first time around, I guess. The known authentic 1928 die pairs are well-documented on VAMWorld. The mess in the...
Melt is $460. $500 may have been an impressive going rate when gold was under $400/oz. in 2000, but not so much right now.
The High Jump dollar is one that has gently cancelled dies available, no?
Real. The storage environment wasn't kind to it, but it doesn't look trashed. Can't tell from the pictures if it would grade, but it's not worth...
You need both sides to be cameo before you'll get the designation. A one-sided cameo is the sort of thing that would get a star at NGC.
Grading proofs from pictures is a fool's errand, but I'll play. PR64. Color designation could be anything. PCI slabs are well known to turn...
Not as nice as the 1853. 64BN.
65BN. Very nice!
Great variety! XF45 is a bit of a head scratcher from here, but I still like it.
I think I'm seeing image resizing artifacts (looks like a grid) that make it tricky to read fine details in the surface. Nevertheless, it looks...
I'll give it a sticker. [IMG]
Different lighting will mess with perception of mint mark position. Also, on a LDS coin, die wear will cause the design elements to spread out a...
I have samples of all but the EDS VAM 4. I will try to remember to bring my EDS and LDS VAMs 3 and 5 with me to a show you're at (ANA? FUN?)....
There's a good reason for that. The Jersey penny was 1/13 of a shilling in the 1840s due to exchange rates with the French livre. There were 26...
And that's one of the reasons I said they're seductive. PCGS PR65BN
Matte proof Lincolns prove to be rather seductive, especially when attractive. Something about the combination of the latent color and the...
It's not VAM 1. You have doubled 880, possibly also the 1. The first 8 appears to be doubled on the right inside and the lower right outside of...
Separate names with a comma.
